Frederick Democrats continue to fight for shared values. This space will be used to highlight various community advocacy efforts in action (e.g., letters to the editor).

02.04.26 - Board of Elections meeting: Public comments here and here.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Annual Frederick County Democratic Party Dinner on June 9, 2025, with Special Guest Harry Dunn, former U.S. Capitol Police Officer. Just under 200 people attended; it was a packed house at Dutch's Daughter. We are grateful that Harry could join us and for the support of all who attended.

Congratulations again to our four honorees:

• Outstanding Democrat - Deborah Carter
• Outstanding Volunteer - Susan Cowles
• Rising Star - Alleria Stanley
• Stephen LeRoux Legacy Award recipients - Dana & Ed Mooney

Our headquarters is located at 8 West 5th Street, Frederick. Current* office hours are Thursdays, 5 PM—7 PM, and Saturdays and Sundays, 10 AM—2 PM.

We will expand our hours as we get closer to the June 23, 2026 primary.

Per Democracy Forward and many other credible sources, leaders, and analysts, "Project 2025 is among the most profound threats to the American People."

What Democracy Forward discovered was a "systemic, ruthless plan to undermine the quality of life of millions of Americans, remove critical protections and dismantle programs for communities across the nation, and prioritize special interests and ideological extremism over people.

The Heritage Foundation and the 100+ organizations that make up the Project 2025 Advisory Board have mapped out exactly how they will achieve their extreme ends. They aim to try and carry out many of the most troubling proposals through an anti-democratic president and political loyalists installed in the executive branch, without waiting for congressional action. And, while many of these plans are unlawful, winning in court is not guaranteed given that the same far-right movement that is behind Project 2025 has shaped our current court system."

The Frederick County Democratic Party hosted a Town Hall on this topic. You can watch a video replay here, and you can review Democracy Forward's summary guide* here.
